  • Patent number: 11400668
    Abstract: A process, in particular a 3D printing process, for producing a spectacle lens is disclosed. The process includes providing a coated substrate, providing a three-dimensional model of the spectacle lens, digitally cutting the three-dimensional model into individual two-dimensional layers, providing at least one printing ink, typically a 3D printing ink, building up the spectacle lens from the sum of the individual two-dimensional layers with a printing operation on the substrate, and hardening of the spectacle lens. The hardening can take place completely or partially after application of individual volume elements or after application of a layer, and the partial hardening can be completed after conclusion of the printing process.

  • Patent number: 9995950
    Abstract: A spectacle lens having a front surface intended to be fitted away from the eye. The spectacle lens includes a substrate made from mineral glass or an organic material. The spectacle lens has selective light wavelength filter properties. The selective light wavelength filter properties include a spectral transmittance between 80% and 95% for all wavelengths in a wavelength range between 428 nm and 452 nm for a light ray entering the spectacle lens on the front surface at an angle of incidence of 0°, a spectral transmittance between 95% and 100% for all wavelengths in a wavelength range between 500 nm and 700 nm for a light ray entering the spectacle lens on the front surface with an angle of incidence of 0° and a yellowness index of no more than 10 for a standard illuminant D65 and a standard observer function of 2° (D65/2°).

  • Patent number: 9778484
    Abstract: An optical element has a substrate body made from transparent plastic and a coating having multiple layers. The coating includes a hard lacquer layer adjoining the substrate. The coating has a diffusivity ensuring the absorption of water molecules passing through the coating in the substrate and the release of water molecules from the substrate through the coating from an air atmosphere on that side of the coating facing away from the substrate with a flow density which, proceeding from the equilibrium state of the quantity of water molecules absorbed in the substrate in an air atmosphere at 23° C. and 50% relative humidity, brings the setting of the equilibrium state of the quantity of water molecules absorbed in the substrate in an air atmosphere at 40° C. and 95% relative humidity within an interval not more than 10 h longer than for setting this equilibrium under corresponding conditions with an identical uncoated substrate.

  • Patent number: 9500860
    Abstract: An optical component having an anti-fog coating obtainable by covalent attachment of a silane having the formula (1): RoXmSiAn to the surface of the optical component. The covalent attachment of the compound of the formula (1) to the surface of the optical component is accomplished by reacting at least one of the reactive, hydrolyzable —Si—X— groups with a suitable reactive surface group, for example, an —OH group, to form —Si—O—.

  • Patent number: 8425035
    Abstract: A spectacle lens (2) has an antireflective coating (1). The antireflective coating (1) produces a residual reflection appearing color-neutral not only under illumination with a natural daylight spectrum, but also under an illumination with an illumination spectrum deviating from the natural daylight spectrum. A method for making a spectacle lens (2) having an antireflective coating (1) is described in which an optical lens (2a) is provided and a layer sequence of layers (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) with alternately high and low refractive material forming the antireflective coating (1) is applied to the optical lens. The antireflective coating (1) is applied with the proviso that the antireflective coating (1) produces a residual reflection appearing color-neutral not only under illumination with a natural daylight spectrum, but also under an illumination with an illumination spectrum deviating from the natural daylight spectrum.
